When we say health is wealth some people ridicule that it a cliché – a worn – out – expression; but these three words advise us all to make our
life lovable. Most of us ignore our health condition and neglect until it is too late. Some of us proudly go around saying – “ I never go to doctors. I do not use any medicine. I have not had an injection so far”. Only when a hidden ailment crops up and causes
severe complications, such people respect their vain pride. Therefore full body check-up is
essential for everybody.
We recently learned from COVID-19 that strange virus and its variants could kill people en masse. The course of nature is unpredictable. Especially men and women above 60 should have a regular medical checkup. We find even youngsters about 25 years old passing away owing to cardiac problems
these days, don’t we? Is not prevention better than cure? Women should shed their inhibitions and feel free to consult medical experts. They are likely
to suffer from breast cancer, uterus or anus related problems. Feeling shy and concealing ailments is hazardous to their life. It is wise
to make use of trust worthy health insurance schemes. That would help us all indeed when
we are in need.
Food allergy differs from person to person. I have known people suffering from sudden choking and body inflammation after
consuming drumstick based food. Some are allergic to fish, prawns, certain fruits and even to drugs. Eating less is also as good as
talking less. Control over our diet would prevent several biological complications. Mental stress affects digestive system. It leads to “Irritable Bowel Syndrome” briefly called IBS in the medical world. Certain other bowel disorders may cause abnormal belching. What are the precautionary measures? A cat –nap in the afternoon is advised.
Going to bed at least ninety minutes after dinner would prevent disorders. The biological clock in our body can be easily
trained to avoid constipation. Katherine Thomas is a doctor serving North Western Digestive Health Centre in Chicago. She specialises in the treatment of
